Children of Israel at Mount Sinai

1 > Israel comes to the wilderness of Sinai and encamps before the mount.

Exodus 19:1 ¶ In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, THE SAME DAY came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai. [It is the view that “the same day” (Exodus 19:1) is the first day of the third month, namely Sivan 1.]

Exodus 19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

2 > Moses’ first ascension on Mount Sinai. Receives God’s promise to take Israel as his people.

Exodus 19:3 And Moses went up unto God [Sivan 2], and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; [The second and third day are not designated in Scripture but are from a common Jewish interpretation used to put the 50th day of Pentecost on Sivan 6th.]

Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself.

Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep MY COVENANT, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth [is] Mine:

Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. [1 Peter 2:9]

3 > Moses descends and tells the people the words of the Lord.

Exodus 19:7 ¶ And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

4 > Moses’ second ascension. Returns the words of the people to the Lord. Instructions to prepare people for meeting God on the mount.

Exodus 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. [Sivan 3]

Exodus 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

Exodus 19:10 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

Exodus 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

Exodus 19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

Exodus 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. [Hebrews 12:20]

5 > Moses descends and prepares the people for the third day (cp. v. 10-11)

Exodus 19:14 ¶ And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

Exodus 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives.

6 > In the morning, the people come before the mount to meet with God

Exodus 19:16 ¶ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled. [Sivan 6 = 50th day of Pentecost]

Exodus 19:17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

Exodus 19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Exodus 19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

7 > Moses’ third ascension. God instructs to make sure people do not come up.

Exodus 19:20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

Exodus 19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

Exodus 19:22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

Exodus 19:23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

Exodus 19:24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

8 > Moses descends, speaks to the people, God speaks the 10 commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). People respond in fear.

Exodus 19:25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

9 > God confirms the Ten Commandments:

Exodus 20:1 ¶ And God spake all these words, saying,

Exodus 20:2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [ I – God is singular – not a 3 in 1 god.]

Exodus 20:3 THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. [ME is singular – not a 3 in 1 god.]

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20:5 THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; [ I – God is singular – not a 3 in 1 god.]

Exodus 20:6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep MY commandments. [MY is singular – not a 3 in 1 god.]

Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the NAME of the LORD THY GOD in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh HIS NAME in vain. [HIS NAME is singular – not a 3 in 1 god.] [Leviticus 19:12; Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:21 23; Psalm 76:11; Ecclesiastes 5:4-6; Matthew 5:33]

Exodus 20:8 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.

Exodus 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:

Exodus 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the SABBATH day, and HALLOWED it. [The LORD God HALLOWED the SABBATH which means that He made it Holy and consecrated. That which is made Holy by God CANNOT be made un-Holy.

Exodus 20:12 ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [Deuteronomy5:16; Ephesians 6:2-3]

Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. [Deuteronomy 5:17; Matthew 5:21; Romans 13:9]

Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. [Deuteronomy 5:18; Proverbs 6:32; Matthew 5:27; Mark10:19; Luke 18:20; Romans 13:9; James 2:11]

Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. [Deuteronomy 5:16-20; Matthew 19:18-19; Romans 13:9] [Deuteronomy 5:17-18; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; James 2:11]

Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour’s. [Romans 7:7]

10 > The reaction of the Israelites:

Exodus 20:18 ¶ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.

Exodus 20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

Exodus 20:20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

11 > Moses’ fourth ascension. Receives various commandments (Exodus 20:22-24:2)

Exodus 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God [was].

Exodus 20:22 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Exodus 20:23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

Exodus 20:24 ¶ An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

Exodus 20:25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. [Deuteronomy 27:5-6, Joshua 8:31]

Exodus 20:26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

Exodus 21:1 ¶ Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

Exodus 21:2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

Exodus 21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.

Exodus 21:4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.

Exodus 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:

Exodus 21:6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.

Exodus 21:7 ¶ And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

Exodus 21:8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

Exodus 21:9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.

Exodus 21:10 If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

Exodus 21:11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

Exodus 21:12 ¶ He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

Exodus 21:13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

Exodus 21:14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

Exodus 21:15 ¶ And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Exodus 21:16 ¶ And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 21:17 ¶ And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. [Matthew 15:4; Mark 7:10]

Exodus 21:18 ¶ And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth [his] bed:

Exodus 21:19 If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.

Exodus 21:20 ¶ And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

Exodus 21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he [is] his money.

Exodus 21:22 ¶ If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].

Exodus 21:23 And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

Exodus 21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21; Matthew 5:38]

Exodus 21:25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Exodus 21:26 ¶ And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.

Exodus 21:27 And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.

Exodus 21:28 ¶ If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] quit.

Exodus 21:29 But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

Exodus 21:30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

Exodus 21:31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.

Exodus 21:32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

Exodus 21:33 ¶ And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

Exodus 21:34 The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give money unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.

Exodus 21:35 ¶ And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead [ox] also they shall divide.

Exodus 21:36 Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.

Exodus 22:1 ¶ If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

Exodus 22:2 ¶ If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.

Exodus 22:3 If the sun be risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him; [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

Exodus 22:4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

Exodus 22:5 ¶ If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

Exodus 22:6 ¶ If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith]; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

Exodus 22:7 ¶ If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

Exodus 22:8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, [to see] whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.

Exodus 22:9 For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, which [another] challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

Exodus 22:10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing [it]:

Exodus 22:11 [Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept [thereof], and he shall not make [it] good.

Exodus 22:12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

Exodus 22:13 If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.

Exodus 22:14 ¶ And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.

Exodus 22:15 [But] if the owner thereof [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] an hired [thing], it came for his hire.

Exodus 22:16 ¶ And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

Exodus 22:17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Exodus 22:18 ¶ Thou shalt not suffer a witch [a sorcerer] to live.

Exodus 22:19 ¶ Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 22:20 ¶ He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Exodus 22:21 ¶ Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 22:22 ¶ Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

Exodus 22:23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

Exodus 22:24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Exodus 22:25 ¶ If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

Exodus 22:26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

Exodus 22:27 For that [is] his covering only, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.

Exodus 22:28 ¶ Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. [Acts 23:5]

Exodus 22:29 ¶ Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

Exodus 22:30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: SEVEN DAYS it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

Exodus 22:31 ¶ And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

Exodus 23:1 ¶ Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Exodus 23:2 ¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:

Exodus 23:3 ¶ Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

Exodus 23:4 ¶ If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

Exodus 23:5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

Exodus 23:6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

Exodus 23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Exodus 23:8 ¶ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Exodus 23:9 ¶ Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

Exodus 23:11 But the seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard.

Exodus 23:12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

Exodus 23:13 And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Exodus 23:14 ¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

Exodus 23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread SEVEN DAYS, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) [Nisan is the first Hebrew month. It is sometimes known as Abib (or Aviv).]

Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, [which is] in the END of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours [corn & wine] out of the field. [The expression “in the END of the year” is a translation of the Hebrew “bezet ha-shanah” (or “betset ha-shanah”). This expression is made up of two words, the verb “yatsa”, translated as “in the end”, and the noun “shanah”, translated as “of the year”. This verb “yatsa” is used 1069 times in the Old Testament, and it is translated 518 times as “out” and 411 times as “forth”. But this verb does not mean “end”. ONLY here in Exodus 23:16 is this verb “yatsa” ever translated by the English noun “END”. This expression “bezet ha-shanah” doesn’t really mean “END of the year” at all. At the time of the Feast of Tabernacles the year is “going forth” or “going out”, but absolutely NO WAY is the year “coming to an end” in the seventh month. This expression in Exodus 23:16 is used to refer to THE HARVEST TIME, the season of Autumn, and not to the time of the end of the Jewish year. It is a reference to the identical time of year which is spoken about in Exodus 34:22. There the expression “at the year’s end” is a translation of the phrase “tekufat ha-shanah”, consisting of the two words “tekufah” and “shanah”. So God uses THREE different ways to pinpoint the exact timing for the Feast of Tabernacles. In Exodus 23:16 “in the end of the year” is “bezet ha-shanah”. In Exodus 34:22 “at the year’s end” is “tekufat ha-shanah”. In Leviticus 23:34 it is “the 15th day of the seventh month”, to continue for seven days.
Jewish traditions view the first day of the seventh month as the start of a “new year”, in spite of God very clearly and unequivocally stating in Exodus 12:2 that “THIS NEW MOON” in the spring is to be the FIRST new moon of the year. It is a desire to hold fast to unbiblical traditions that is at the root of interpreting the verb “yatsa” to mean “end”.
And the festival of harvest with the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou shalt sow in the field, And the festival of ingathering AT THE OUTGOING OF THE YEAR, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. (Exodus 23:16 1902 Rotherham Translation), or,
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering at the PROCEEDING FORTH OF THE YEAR, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. (Exodus 23:16 AV) are more correct in translation and meaning.

Exodus 23:17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

Exodus 23:18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my SACRIFICE remain until the morning.
Thou shalt not ZABACH (offer) the blood of my ZEBACH (sacrifice) with CHAMETZ (leavened bread); neither shall the CHELEB (fat) of my CHAG (sacrifice) remain unto the morning. The Hebrew word “CHAG” is mistranslated as “sacrifice” in this verse. This word “chag” actually means “FEAST”, and it is used to refer specifically to the three annual feasts. The Passover is not mentioned or referred to anywhere in Exodus chapter 23. The Hebrew verb “ZABACH” is used here in Exodus 23:18, where it is translated “offer”. This verb means “to sacrifice”, but it is NEVER used to refer to the Passover. The verb that is used to refer to the Passover being killed is “shachat”, but this verb is never used in Exodus chapter 23. The use of the verb “ZABACH” here in Exodus 23:18 makes quite clear that the reference is NOT to the Passover. The noun “CHELEB” (“fat”) is never used to refer to the Passover, but it is invariably used to refer to the sacrifices of the whole sacrificial system performed by the Levitical priesthood. The Passover was not a part of that system.
The Passover was already instituted by God in Exodus chapter 12, almost a full year before God instituted the Levitical priesthood and the sacrifices for which the Levitical priests would be responsible. And the Book of Leviticus does NOT give a discussion of the Passover anywhere, showing that the Passover was NOT one of the duties of this Levitical priesthood. The word “Passover” is mentioned only one single time in the whole Book of Leviticus, in Leviticus 23:5, which simply spells out when the Passover is to be observed. But it was NOT one of the duties of the Levitical priesthood.
A correct rendering:
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my FEAST remain until the morning. (Exodus 23:18)
This is an instruction that applied to the animal sacrifices that Israelites would bring during the three annual feast occasions.

Exodus 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

Exodus 23:20 ¶ Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Exodus 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him.

Exodus 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Exodus 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Exodus 23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Exodus 23:26 ¶ There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Exodus 23:27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

Exodus 23:28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Exodus 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

Exodus 23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

Exodus 23:31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

Exodus 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

Exodus 23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Exodus 24:1 ¶ And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

Exodus 24:2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

12 > Moses descends and recounts all the commandments God gave him

Exodus 24:3 ¶ And MOSES came and TOLD THE PEOPLE ALL THE WORDS of the LORD, and ALL THE JUDGMENTS: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

13 > Early in the morning Moses builds an altar and sanctifies the people. People vow obedience.

Exodus 24:4 And MOSES WROTE ALL THE WORDS of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an ALTAR under the hill, and TWELVE PILLARS, according to the TWELVE TRIBES of ISRAEL. [Sivan 7]

Exodus 24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

Exodus 24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put [it] in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Exodus 24:7 And he took the BOOK of the COVENANT, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

Exodus 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the BLOOD of the COVENANT, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. [Hebrews 9:19-20]

14 > Moses’ fifth ascension with Aaron and others. The nobles see God. Moses ascends higher to be with God (v. 12-13,15).

Exodus 24:9 ¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

Exodus 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness.

Exodus 24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Exodus 24:12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Exodus 24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

Exodus 24:14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.

Exodus 24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

15 > Cloud covers the mount for six days [Sivan 7-12]

Exodus 24:16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

16 > On the seventh day God calls to Moses out of the cloud and Moses goes into the midst of the cloud. Moses in the mount 40 days and nights receiving instructions for the Tabernacle.

Exodus 24:17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. [Sivan 13]

Exodus 24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount FORTY DAYS and FORTY NIGHTS.

17 > Moses descends after 40 days, breaks the tablets upon seeing the people worshipping the golden calf.

Exodus 32:15 ¶ And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written. [Tammuz 23 – The 40 days excludes the 6 days the cloud covers the mount.]

Exodus 32:16 And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

Exodus 32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.

Exodus 32:18 And he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being overcome: [but] the noise of [them that] sing do I hear.

Exodus 32:19 ¶ And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

Exodus 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strowed [it] upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink [of it].

Exodus 32:21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

Exodus 32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they [are set] on mischief.

Exodus 32:23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

Exodus 32:24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break [it] off. So they gave [it] me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

Exodus 32:25 ¶ And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto [their] shame among their enemies:)

Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD’S side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

Exodus 32:27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

Exodus 32:28 And the children of Levi [Israel [Ms16-1896]] did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

Exodus 32:29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

18 > Moses’ sixth ascension to seek forgiveness for the people.

Exodus 32:30 ¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. [Tammuz 24]

Exodus 32:31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

Exodus 32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin–; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

Exodus 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, WHOSOEVER HATH SINNED AGAINST ME, HIM WILL I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK.

Exodus 32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto [the place] of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

Exodus 32:35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

19 > Moses returns the Lord’s words to the people. Moves tabernacle outside the camp. Pleads with God to go with him and to see his glory.

Exodus 33:1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, [and] go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

Exodus 33:2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

Exodus 33:3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

Exodus 33:4 ¶ And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

Exodus 33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye [are] a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

Exodus 33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

Exodus 33:7 And MOSES TOOK THE TABERNACLE, AND PITCHED IT WITHOUT THE CAMP, afar off from the camp, and called it the TABERNACLE of the CONGREGATION. And it came to pass, [that] every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without the camp.

Exodus 33:8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, [that] all the people rose up, and stood every man [at] his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

Exodus 33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and [the LORD] talked with Moses.

Exodus 33:10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man [in] his tent door.

Exodus 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Exodus 33:12 ¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

Exodus 33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation [is] thy people.

Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest.

Exodus 33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence.

Exodus 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? [is it] not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that [are] upon the face of the earth.

Exodus 33:17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

Exodus 33:18 And he [Moses] said, I beseech thee, SHOW ME THY GLORY.

Exodus 33:19 And he said, I will make ALL MY GOODNESS pass before thee, and I will proclaim the NAME of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. [Romans 9:15]

Exodus 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see MY FACE: for there shall NO MAN SEE ME, AND LIVE.

Exodus 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

Exodus 33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will COVER THEE WITH MY HAND while I pass by:

Exodus 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and THOU SHALT SEE MY BACK PARTS: but my face shall not be seen.

20 > Moses’ seventh ascension with new tablets. Given revelation of God’s name. In the mount for another 40 days and night (Exodus 34:28)

Exodus 34:1 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon [these] tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. [Tammuz 25]

Exodus 34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

Exodus 34:3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

Exodus 34:4 ¶ And he hewed TWO TABLES of STONE like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the TWO TABLES of STONE.

Exodus 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the NAME of the LORD.

Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

Exodus 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands [of generations – LSG], forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].

Exodus 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

Exodus 34:9 And he [Moses] said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

Exodus 34:10 ¶ And He [God] said, Behold, I make a COVENANT: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

Exodus 34:11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Exodus 34:12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

Exodus 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:

Exodus 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

Exodus 34:16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

Exodus 34:17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

Exodus 34:18 ¶ The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. SEVEN DAYS thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. [Nisan is the first Hebrew month. It is sometimes known as Abib (or Aviv).]

Exodus 34:19 All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male].

Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

Exodus 34:21 ¶ Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

Exodus 34:22 ¶ And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s END. [The expression “at the year’s END” is a translation of the Hebrew “tekufat ha-shanah”. This expression is made up of two nouns, the word “tekufah”, translated as “end”, and the word “shanah”, translated as “at the year’s”. Jewish encyclopaedias, the Talmud and many other Jewish reference works will freely acknowledge that this word “tekufah” [used only 4 times in the Old Testament] has exactly TWO meanings. Firstly, it refers to the only FOUR “TURNING DAYS” in the solar year that can be predicted in advance, the two equinoxes and the two solstices. Secondly, it refers to THE FOUR SEASONS which start on those four “turning days”. It has no other meanings, and certainly not the meaning “end”. The word “tekufah” has the identical characteristics as the Hebrew word “chodesh”, which has the TWO meanings of: the new moon day, and the month that starts with that new moon day. Both these Hebrew words pinpoint A SPECIFIC DAY (a solstice or equinox for “tekufah”, and a new moon day for “chodesh”) and also A PERIOD OF TIME THAT STARTS WITH THAT SPECIFIC DAY (an annual season for “tekufah”, and a month for “chodesh”). In Exodus 34:22 the expression “tekufat ha-shanah” is a specific reference to the Autumn Equinox (on September 23), and therefore this Scripture makes quite clear that the Feast of Tabernacles can NEVER start before the Autumn Equinox.]

Exodus 34:23 ¶ Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

Exodus 34:24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

Exodus 34:25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

Exodus 34:26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

Exodus 34:27 And the LORD said unto MOSES, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a COVENANT with THEE and with ISRAEL.

Exodus 34:28 And he [Moses] was there with the LORD FORTY DAYS and FORTY NIGHTS; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the TABLES the WORDS of the COVENANT, the TEN COMMANDMENTS.[Moses Third time of FORTY DAYS and FORTY NIGHTS – See also Deuteronomy 9:9, 9:18 & 9:25]

21 > Moses comes down after 40 days and his face shines. Instructs people to build tabernacle.

Exodus 34:29 ¶ And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. [Elul 5]

Exodus 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

Exodus 34:31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

Exodus 34:32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

Exodus 34:33 And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

Exodus 34:34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.

Exodus 34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Exodus 35:4 – Exodus 40:16 relate to the Tabernacle requirements and construction.

22 > Tabernacle is reared up. Aaron and his sons consecrated for 7 days (Leviticus 8:33-35)

Exodus 40:17 ¶ And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle was reared up. [Nisan 1]

Exodus 40:18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

Exodus 40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:20 ¶ And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

Exodus 40:21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:22 ¶ And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.

Exodus 40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:24 ¶ And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

Exodus 40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:26 ¶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil:

Exodus 40:27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:28 ¶ And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.

Exodus 40:29 And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:30 ¶ And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].

Exodus 40:31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

Exodus 40:32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 40:33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

Exodus 40:34 ¶ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the GLORY of the LORD filled the TABERNACLE.

Exodus 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Exodus 40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

Exodus 40:37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

Exodus 40:38 For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

Leviticus 8:31 ¶ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

Leviticus 8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

Leviticus 8:33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [in] SEVEN DAYS, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for SEVEN DAYS shall he consecrate you.

Leviticus 8:34 As he hath done this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.

Leviticus 8:35 Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night SEVEN DAYS, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

Leviticus 8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

23 > Sin and burnt offering for Aaron and the people. Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire (Leviticus 10:1,19)

Leviticus 9:1 ¶ And it came to pass on the eighth day, [that] Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; [Nisan 8]

Leviticus 9:2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before the LORD.

Leviticus 9:3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, [both] of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

Leviticus 9:4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.

Leviticus 9:5 ¶ And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

Leviticus 9:6 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.

Leviticus 9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.

Leviticus 9:8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which [was] for himself.

Leviticus 9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

Leviticus 9:10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Leviticus 9:11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.

Leviticus 9:12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.

Leviticus 9:13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.

Leviticus 9:14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.

Leviticus 9:15 ¶ And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which [was] the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

Leviticus 9:16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.

Leviticus 9:17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

Leviticus 9:18 He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings, which [was] for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

Leviticus 9:19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above] the liver:

Leviticus 9:20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

Leviticus 9:21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

Leviticus 9:22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.

Leviticus 9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.

Leviticus 9:24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: [which] when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Leviticus 10:1 ¶ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

Leviticus 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

Leviticus 10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

Leviticus 10:4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

Leviticus 10:5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

Leviticus 10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.

Leviticus 10:7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD [is] upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

Leviticus 10:8 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,

Leviticus 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations: [Numbers 6:3; Ezekiel 44:21; Luke1:15]

Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

Leviticus 10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 10:12 ¶ And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it [is] most holy:

Leviticus 10:13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it [is] thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.

Leviticus 10:14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for [they be] thy due, and thy sons’ due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

Leviticus 10:15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave [it for] a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.

Leviticus 10:16 ¶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron [which were] left [alive], saying,

Leviticus 10:17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it [is] most holy, and [God] hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?

Leviticus 10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy [place]: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place], as I commanded.

Leviticus 10:19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and [if] I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?

Leviticus 10:20 And when Moses heard [that], he was content.
